In this video, C. Vision Productions takes you on a journey along the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern from Buffalo Ridge to the Missouri River, featuring both mainline and branch line operations. We’ll see trains on the Huron, Pierre, Mansfield, and Onida Subdivisions, along with the lightly-traveled Yale Spur. This program documents a transitional era on the DM&E, as CP influence is evident in much of the video. If you like SD40-2s, thunderstorms, and classic grain elevators, sit back and prepare for nearly two hours of non-stop railroad entertainment.
